Weekend on the Gunflint Trail

Sunday, September 19, 2010 by Sue Prom
     The Gunflint Trail is a great place to spend time.  While I think a day or a weekend is much too short for a visit it is better than nothing.  Guests of Voyageur Canoe Outfitters have been enjoying the Gunflint Trail and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness this fall. 
     It doesn't seem to matter what the weather is like because folks on the Gunflint Trail or out paddling in the canoe country just have a good time anyway.  The wilderness fishing has been good, there aren't any bugs, the loons are singing and the stars and moon are shining bright.  Camping in the BWCA this time of year is extra special because there are very few people paddling.
   Voyageur guests who spent time fishing on Saganaga in a light rain were rewarded with a couple of great catches.  When it's been too windy for paddling the Boundary Waters our guests have loved exploring the many hiking trails along the Gunflint Trail.  Windy, cold and rainy weather has given our guests the perfect opportunity to visit Chik-Wauk Museum or relax in their cozy cabin.
     The Gunflint Trail is exploding with color and the leaf lookers are out looking.  A few folks were lucky enough to see moose along the Gunflint Trail in addition to beautiful fall colors.  Grouse hunters were surely successful on the Gunflint Trail since all one has to do is take a drive down a road to see a half of a dozen or more grouse out sunning themselves. 
     There is still time to enjoy a weekend on the Gunflint Trail or in the Boundary Waters.  We would love to have you visit us at Voyageur yet this fall.  Come see for yourself how wonderful 
and peaceful a fall retreat at the end of the Gunflint Trail can be.
